Song Parodies -> Sauce And Gravy
"Book Of Liars" Based on the performance by Walter Becker
"Sauce And Gravy" Parody by New York Bob
The Sign In Stranger guestbook is a notorious forum in the Steely Dan fan online
community. Sometimes people actually discuss the music of Steely Dan and on
occasion, one can leave a life & death question behind to puzzle the lurkers
and regular posters. And so it happened that someone wondered what the
difference was/is between sauce and gravy, because apparently the American
Italians use these words for different things. This immediately smelled like a
parody and a quick scan of the Steely Dan lyrics database pointed the obvious
song for the purpose: it had the Book of Liars written all over it:
Sauce and Gravy

Bye and bye now
We'll get over
The things we've cooked and the things we rinse out
But not just now when
I can 't remember
Exactly what it was I thought we had
'Cause I waited so long girl and I came so far
To find out you're not always cooking what you say you are

And there's a lump in the sauce or gravy
What a shame

Uncle Bill came in late last night
Drunk on homemade wine
Fell down hard in the driveway
Hung his teeth out on the laundry line
He's a Cookery Card Club member, oh what a joy
And it's Goodbye Kitten for the Tjap Choy

Yet another lump in the sauce and gravy, what a shame
They crush a lump in the sauce and gravy, what a shame

Jars imploding
The long night passing
Croutons dancing in the frozen yogurt spawn
Here's one left stranded at the zero crossing
With a spoonful of its half-life left to carry on
But now the stove's much warmer than it cooks today
And if the bad Chef ever takes me back to say

Then I'll just look in my sauce and gravy for your name
I'll just look in the sauce and gravy for your name
